On a similar note: super advanced generic FT tanks/spaceships/soldiers in fact books, with nothing more than a name and an image that is 100% oversized.

An autocratic monarchy with elements of aristocracy which is militaristic to the point of suicidal. Nuclear armed ready to use this weapon on any agressor or itself to prevent capture. Ruled over by a combination of medieval-ish thinking of workers and peasants and incredibly hierarchical society. A British-ish colonial empire incorporating some partially democratic nations who just want some WMD’s

You don't need fancy graphics; in fact, having well-written factbooks is at least as important as aesthetic. I use Wiki-style templates for my factbooks, but a lot of my dispatches have almost zero formatting because they're just straight-up prose. You don't have to have an unorthodox, flawless, picture-heavy factbook for it to be good quality.

That, and just strike a balance of both. I would not mind either a word-heavy factbook, or a picture-heavy one, as long as there is effort put into them. ♥

Which is why I have The Sixty in F&NI forums despite the initial protests, because it's a lot of words. It looks nicer on the forums than on the factbooks.

it doesn't have to be picture heavy or well-formatted but you do need to have some of that if you want people to take you seriously. don't assume otherwise. well-formatted junk is often received better than no-formatting gold because people here don't give a damn about writing quality if your lore looks good enough.




okay this is a bit of an un-cliche but why the fuck are there like no .44s in anyone's army or police

i understand that they're big, bulky, low in capacity, high in recoil and generally impractical for use in any modern combat situation but even putting dirty harry aside, the 44 is cooler than the desert eagle

same with literally any 9mm submachine gun over the kriss vector or the ar-18 over the m-16/m4/hk416
Currently in the process of revamping all of my lore, including my signature. It's gonna probably take a while, better make yourself comfortable.

Probably because of how overshadowed it is. .44 is just below .45 ACP, which is very possibly the most famous caliber of the last century and a quarter. .44 magnum is equally famous, but would require a lot of work to figure out a way to put it into a normal pistol, unless you want to sacrifice your wrists to Chesty Puller, God of Crayons and Marines, along with John Browning, God of Handguns. A revolver is very impractical as a standard issue weapon in the modern day, so .44 just doesn't have a place in modern warfare.

A revolver is very impractical as a standard issue weapon in the modern day, so .44 just doesn't have a place in modern warfare.


revolvers aren't impractical in the modern day, though. revolvers are outclassed in the capacity and ease of reloading of modern semi auto pistols, but they make up for it in power and reliability. typical .45 acp gets about 355 ft-lbs of force. .44 magnum gets over a thousand.

and besides, yeah, it's impractical, but... sometimes coolness comes before accuracy. everyone's trying to be the most realistic and "tactically sound" military on this site but they're never willing to step outside of that to have fun. i think that's a real cliche here. people who are trying to be right, not trying to have a good time. that's why ii and nsg have really gone down, they don't want to have fun, they want to exert their believed dominance over everyone else. it's not about winning anything; it's about actually having a good time here, and not getting riled up over everything. nsg is inherently that, though, and ii has drifted towards that recently with an influx of summerposters who think this game is something that they can "win." no one goal fits everyone. some people might want to write. some people might want to win a couple battles. some people might just want to hang out with like-minded people. any of those is fine. but it's when you try to apply your personally crafted and moulded goals to somebody else that this site stops being fun and starts being a research project.

...i think i may have gotten off track. just a little.

San Francisco is the Changing City where tech startups are booming, hipster culture flourish, and the economy is prospering. However poverty, economic inequality, and crime is on the rise as SF becomes the site of a power struggle between a resurgent Japanese Empire and a rump US in the Rockies after a Soviet Cold War victory. It is up to the effort of the elite if troublesome SAU in keeping the peace in SF as conspiracy abounds.

Very much so. Everyone has their own writing style derived from several factors such as vocabulary size, syntax, English proficiency, their particular dialect and idiolect, the particular tone they use (whether intentionally or unintentionally), and writing skill. We probably all have writing styles with unique markers that serve as fingerprints of sorts.

Now, before I sound smarter than I likely am in actuality, I will say there are patterns in everybody's writing that we'd pick up on were we to analyze them. Perhaps we pick up on them subconsciously; who knows.

Yes I'm talking about a certain user who always makes long-winding and confusing posts that constantly repeats themselves over and over who's name rhymes with Breater Biami Bores.

Very much so. Everyone has their own writing style derived from several factors such as vocabulary size, syntax, English proficiency, their particular dialect and idiolect, the particular tone they use (whether intentionally or unintentionally), and writing skill.
